After particle charging, charged particle is deposited on one group of passive electrode from air.Passive electrode and a group precipitation Electrode is formed together parallel-plate structure, wherein each passive electrode plate is located in parallel between two precipitation electrodes plates, thus The controlled spacing between adjacent panels is maintained, which is used as air duct.Because compared with using mechanical fiber filter, Particle is captured from air to be realized with lower energy consumption, so equipment design is popular.This is because working as Caused air-pressure drop is lower when air passes through the straight channel between the parallel-plate in electrostatic particle filter.Moreover, when parallel When hardened structure includes the particle largely captured, parallel-plate structure easily can be cleaned or be washed by hand in dish-washing machine and wash, because This regeneration.Fabric filter is not easy to regenerate, it is necessary to abandon as waste.
Particle charging section is located at the upstream of parallel-plate structure.Wherein by high voltage air ionization, usually by being related to Thin corona wire (thin corona wires) charges to complete particle.Discharge ion from corona wire passes through charging at them It is adsorbed on during section on the particle of air carrying, to charge to particle.It then, can be by means of in downstream parallel-plate section In adjacent panels between the electrostatic field established precipitate charged particle.
The problem of parallel-plate filtration device structure, is to be likely to occur significant leakage current between the adjacent panels in precipitating phase Ileak.With the increase of the increase of the grain amount captured in precipitating phase and relative humidity (RH) level, leakage current also increases.Electric leakage A part of stream is DC leakage current, when these surfaces are covered by granular deposit, between DC leakage current flows through between precipitation plate The surface of parting.These deposits serve as the conductive path between adjacent panels, and between these conductive paths, there are electric fields.? What is known is that the smoke from cigarette particle deposited forms this conductive path, and conductive path increases, the increase of RH with the increase of RH It is since the amount of the moisture absorbed in granular deposit then increases.
Another part of leakage current is peak current (spiky current), from the gap crossed between adjacent panels Inverse corona (back-corona) electric discharge.These also tend to the amount of the granular deposit in increase and collector plate with RH Increase and increase.
In the case where the high particulate load of high RH level and/or filter is horizontal, leakage current can exceed that the capacity of high voltage power supply. In general, ensuring that leakage current is no more than the maximum value of setting by means of current-limiting circuit design.However, it means that between adjacent panels Electric field is adjusted to reduced levels therewith.Under constant flow rate, it reduce integral particle filter efficiency η (dp), therefore reduce Clean air delivery rate (CADR), to also reduce pipeline utilization factors.
It is then desired to a kind of electrostatic particle filter, even if when the leakage current in particle precipitate phase increases, Allow for energy-efficient operation.
US 2014/0345463 discloses a kind of electrostatic precipitation device, and wherein current sensor is for detecting paradoxical discharge Electric current, and this can be used for pass hull closure or the electric pressing operation in reduction.US 2008/0041138 discloses a kind of air Contaminant sensor may include electrostatic filter, which includes end-of-filter lifetime detection.

Fig. 1 shows the basic structure of electrostatic particle filter.
There are particle charging sections 10, receive contaminated with air stream rate φ.Particle precipitating phase 12 includes parallel The array of plate 14 is held in place by the electrical isolation spacer 16 of spacer array.Plate includes alternate precipitation electrodes And passive electrode.
The length of plate 14 is LplateAnd d is divided between plateplate, which is maintained by spacer array.From precipitating phase 12 Export purified air stream.Power supply 18 for precipitating phase includes voltage source, which applies between each pair of adjacent panels 14 Making alive Vplate.Therefore, one group of alternating plate earthing, and another group is in potential Vplate.One group is precipitation electrodes, and another group It is passive electrode.
In this way, charged particle is deposited on passive electrode plate by electrostatic field:
Eplate=Vplate/dplate
This establishes between the adjacent panels 14 in the array in the parallel-plate section of downstream.In this way, parallel-plate section is used as particle Precipitating phase.
The design value of particle precipitating phase and technological parameter therein be such as in the household individual air cleaners typically encountered Under:
3mm≤dplate≤10mm,
3kV≤Vplate≤10kV,
0.5kV/mm≤Eplate≤1.0kV/mm,
0.5m/s≤vair≤1.5m/s(vairIt is the average air speed between adjacent electrode plates),
30mm≤Lplate≤150mm(LplateIt is length of the electrode plate along airflow direction),
150mm≤Hplate≤400mm(HplateIt is height of the electrode plate along the direction perpendicular to airflow direction),
According to design value referred to above and the volumes of air flow velocity rate φ that is purified by cleaning equipment is needed, in precipitating phase The number of electrode plate can be more than 100.
Under laminar flow condition between electrode plate, about using n (dp) elementary charge charging, diameter dpParticle point Grade filter efficiency η (dp) (fractional filtration efficiency) be given by:
IfThen
IfThen η (dp)=1
vavAverage air speed between display plate, and it is directly proportional to flow velocity φ under the fixed dimension of precipitating phase;
μairIt is air viscosity (at room temperature, μair=1.8 × 10-5Pa.s);
" e " is elementary charge (e=1.6 × 10-19C);
Cc(dp) it is Cunningham sliding modifying factor.For it to particle diameter dpDependence, reference Book " Aerosol Technology:Properties, the Behavior andMeasurement of of W.C.Hinds The 3rd chapter in the Airborne Particles " second edition (John Wiley and Sons).
Generated by the ionic adsorption in corona discharge, diameter dpParticle on elementary charge number n (dp) typical mean Value (depending on the intensity of corona discharge current to a certain extent) is as follows:
For dp=80nm, n ≈ 2-3,
For dp=200nm, n ≈ 5-6.
With reference to the 109-123 pages of the Journal of Aerosol Science 16 (1985) of Adachi et al., wherein Particle charging is predicted on the basis of Fuchs particle charge theory, and passes through experimental verification.
From filtration art (see above cited book " Aerosol Technology:Properties, The 9th chapter in Behavior and Measurement of Airborne Particles ") from the point of view of, it is well known that for straight Diameter is close to for the particle size of 200nm, η (dp) reach minimum value, i.e. η (dp)=ηmin.It is commonly designed and operates electro static filtering Device, so that for dp~200nm, ηmin≥ηset, wherein ηset≥0.9.For example, work as vair=1m/s, dplate=4mm and Eplate=Vplate/dplateWhen=1kV/mm, the latter's efficiency approximation is in LplateIt is realized at=100mm.
As explained above, the problem of parallel-plate filtration device structure, is to go out between the adjacent panels in precipitating phase Now significant leakage current Ileak.In the case where the high particulate load of high relative humidity level and/or filter is horizontal, IleakCan be more than The capacity of power supply 18.Usually, it is ensured that IleakNo more than the maximum value I of settingleak,max, however means that the electricity between adjacent panels Field EplateIt to be adjusted to reduced levels therewith, which reduce integral particle filter efficiency η (dp)。
The present invention is based in response to the feedback from controller come controlling filter operation and/or air purifier operate, The controller receives the data about envionmental humidity and level of drain current.In addition, it can also issue the user with warning with Cleaning or replacement filter.
In range as described above, the structure of Fig. 1 is known.For making the ozone generated in particle charging section most Few reason is, it is preferable to use positive electricity corona voltage carries out particle charging, to generate positive particle charge.When by adjacent precipitation electrodes plate When being connected to reference (zero or ground) potential, these positively charged particles can be from being deposited on passive electrode plate in air, the receipts Collector plate is connected to negative voltage Vplate.Alternatively, when passive electrode plate is connected to zero or earth potential, precipitation electrodes plate can be with It is connected to positive voltage Vplate
It in order to realize method of the invention, adds and electric leakage flowmeter 20 is provided, measurement passes through electrode plate to the leakage current on ground. To which galvanometer 20 to be attached to one group of electrode plate for being connected to zero or earth potential.By via galvanometer that whole group all zero is electric Position electrode plate is connected to zero or earth potential, measures the combined leakage currents I on groundleak.Galvanometer can be implemented as simply as electric current Sense resistor, wherein the voltage at measuring resistor both ends, is then used as the input of controller.Galvanometer 20 preferably makes Obtain the possible current spike that can be measured DC electric current baseline value and can be superposed thereon.Then, in period T, from The average drain currents I of measurement is obtained by the total mark charge Q of galvanometerleak, that is, Ileak=Q/T.Preferably, T >=10s and IleakIt can be confirmed as the moving average of the charge of measurement at any time in time course.
Fig. 2 shows whole systems, can be considered as air cleaning facility.It includes air cleaning section 30 comprising The electrostatic air filter 30a of Fig. 1, electrostatic air filter 30a include electric leakage flowmeter;And fan 30b.
Fan 30b is used as stream controller.Alternatively, which can be operated based on ion wind air stream.In this feelings Under condition, charging section 10 also serves as stream controller.
Additionally, there are relative humidity meters 32 and controller 34.Controller receives the relative humidity level from sensor 32 RH and plate voltage V from air cleaning section 30plate, leakage current IleakWith air stream rate φ.
Feedback path 36 makes it possible to adjust VplateWith the setting of φ, and makes it possible to provide suitable display state and disappear Breath.In air stream situation as caused by ion wind, by control fan speed or pass through the corona current in control charging section Carry out coutroi velocity.Because air stream caused by ion wind can only the both ends of air cleaning facility generate very small pressure drop (≤ 1Pa), so when using the relatively small air cleaning facility of size to handle upper air current rate (> 150m3/ hour) when, it is best Use fan.
Controller realizes the control method of a variety of different control settings of wherein application.
If at any RH,
Ileak<Ileak,max
Then
Vplate=Vplate,max
And
φ≤φmax(also according to manual setting)
If leakage current is lower than maximum set value Ileak,max, then it is arranged using the control, determines the performance of particulate filter Best and input power level use is best.Preferably, V is selectedplate,maxTo be generated between adjacent electrode plates 0.5kV/mm≤Eplate,max=Vplate,max/dplateMaximum field intensity in the range of≤1.0kV/mm.
If in RH > RHset, Ileak≥ILeak, max,
Then
Reduce Vplate, until Ileak=Ileak,maxUntil,
And
φ is reduced simultaneously, until η (dp)=ηset(for dp~200nm) until.
When there are high relative humidity and higher than the horizontal I of maximum leakage currentleak,maxVplate=Vplate,maxUnder electric leakage When stream, it is arranged using the control.Now, to filter (plate voltage Vplate) and air purifier air stream (φ) operation setting It is adjusted, to cope with high envionmental humidity, to optimize pipeline utilization factors.Preferably, horizontal RH is setset>=70%. In RH >=70%, especially in RH >=90%, separate on (by particle contamination) surface of the spacer structures of plate electrode Moisture absorption be likely to be breached such degree so that it forms conductive path between the plates, so that even if only capturing on collecting board Suitable particle, also can be in Vplate,maxLower generation is more than Ileak,maxLeakage current.For example, just deposited smoke from cigarette Highly hygroscopic degree of the grain when it is in RH >=70% due to, is especially famous, and when air cleaning facility handles contaminated humid air When, they can cause significant leakage current.Plate voltage is reduced, until leakage current is reduced to maximum value.In addition, reducing air Stream, until reaching desired efficiency.
If in RH≤RHset, Ileak≥Ileak,maxWhen,
Then
Reduce Vplate, until Ileak=Ileak,maxUntil,
And
φ is reduced simultaneously, until η (dp)=ηsetUntil (for dp~200nm).
When not having high relative humidity but leakage current is higher than maximum horizontal, it is arranged using the control.To filter (plate voltage Vplate) and the operation setting of air purifier (air stream φ) adjusted again with response environment relative humidity, to optimize Pipeline utilization factors.In this case, high leakage current mainly by the high particulate load degree of filter rather than humidity level causes, Therefore display alert message " recommended replacement filter " or " it is recommended that cleaning filter ".In Fig. 2, this is shown as controller 34 Output 38.Filter load has a large amount of deposited particles, even if being lower than given threshold RHsetRh value under, this also can Cause high leakage current value.
In Ileak≤Ileak,maxLower VplateWhen value reduces, clean air delivery rate (CADR) is reduced, and can only pass through φ is reduced to maintain high power to utilize the factor.When the particulate load of filter increases, VplateBecome more with reduction needed for φ Add serious, and if replacement/cleaning without filter, eventually causes under any relative humidity level Unacceptable filter capability.
Fig. 3 shows electrostatic air cleaning method.
In step 40, it is charged using charging section to the particle that the air in air stream carries.
In step 42, air stream is filtered using particle precipitating phase, which includes having between adjacent electrode plates There is the parallel electrode plate of voltage.
In step 44, the electric current of electrode plate is flowed through in measurement.
In step 46, near air purifier, for example, sensing relative humidity at air intake.
In step 48, according to the measured electric current for flowing through electrode plate and the relative humidity sensed, adjacent electricity is controlled Voltage between pole plate and control air stream.
An operation mode in operation mode as discussed above is realized in the control of step 48.
As discussed above, embodiment utilizes controller.Controller can be real in many ways with software and/or hardware It is existing, to execute required various functions.Processor is an example of controller, and the controller is using one or more micro processs Software (for example, microcode) can be used to be programmed to carry out required function in device, the microprocessor.However, controller can be with It is realized with or without processor, and is also implemented as executing the specialized hardware and processor of certain functions The combination of (for example, microprocessor and interlock circuit of one or more programmings) is to execute other function.
